HEAT-ACCUMULATOR FOR SELF-COOKING APPARATUS.

Specification of LettersPatent.

Patented May 4, 1909.

' Application filed. April s, 1906. Serial No. 310,331.

This heat accumulator is formed substantially of an asbestosdisk fitting into the outer vessel of the appaiatus.

In the accompanying drawings two forms of vconstruction of the invention are illustrated, like letters of reference indicating like parts in the'several views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view, Fig. 2i s a back view thereof, and Fig. 3 1s a SOC/D1011 through a modification. I

The asbestos disk inthe case re resented is comprised oi'a number of indivic ual disks a, the u pmost of which is'formed with a hand grip b' journaled thereto. The disks a may be connected witheach other by any suitable means, such as clampsc, for example.

A convenient number of the lower disks (1 are fitted" with slots or like perforations, these forming channels (1 in the asbestos disk, as will appear from Figs. 2 and 3.

The asbestos disk is heated by a convenient source of heat, prior to being placed in position. The object of theheatin'g channels d hereby is, to insure a ready and uniform reception of heat.

Instead of the clamps c a metal'facing 0 may be provided in the manner appearing from Fig. 3, this facing lining the upmost of the disks aand the circumferenceoff the asbestos disk. In-this way the individual disks 0, are likewise firmly held together, but besides there are two essential advantages ossessed by this form of construction. irst, the asbestos disk is protected from injury, such asmay be caused by the pot,

laced thereon, which contains the food to e cooked, and secondly, those quantities of heat which despite the channels d may still be stored up unequally in the asbestos disk will be conveyed to the said pot in uniform disfact that metal is a good conductor of heat. It will be seen that the metal facing e in this respect performs a like office as. the heating channels (1.

It is to be understood that changes in the form, proportion,.size, and minor details may be made within the scope indicated by the appended claims, without departing from the spirit orsacrificing any of the advantages of 5 the invention.

What I claim isz 1. A heat accumulator comprising a plurality of asbestos disks, the disks below the top one having a plurality of 'registering openings for the passage of heat to'the bot- 7 tom of the topmost disk and the body portions of the adjacent disks, and means for binding the disks together. v

2. A heat accumulator comprising a plurality of asbestos disks, the lowermost asbestos disks having a series of registering openings for thepassage of heat, clips at the edges of the disks -for holdingthe latter together, the edges of the asbestos disks between theclips being exposed, substantially as described. I

3.. A heat accumulator comprising a plurality of asbestos disks, the lowermost astribution, in consequence of the well-known bestos disks having two sets of registering openings, one-set of said openings being arranged near the outer edges of the disks and in the center thereof, the other set of open ings being in the form of radially disposed narrow slits located between the openings near the edges and the opening in the center of the disks, and means for holding the disks together. i

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed 'my name this 16th day. of January, 1906, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
